IGT Mets @ Phillies, 08/27/08

Whiff.

OK... here we go.

Three more outs.

[Elster88]

Am I crazy, or should we let Joe Smith start the ninth? We got all lefties coming up? I'd hate to run out of pitchers again.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Who comes out for the ninth? Ayala?

[Guest cooby]

Okay, I am staying up for this thing; I am not facing my Phillies fan friends in the mornings by admitting that I don't know how it ended.


Lets go Mets!

Win soon!

I was thinking the same thing.
3 RHBs coming up - go to Ayala at the first sign of trouble but let Smith find that trouble first.


And one-pitch/one-out as I type that.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

A lead off + sac bunt to give away an out = BIFL

Why is this so hard for Manuel to grasp. This isn't rocket science, it shouldn't be so hard a concept to comprehend.

Okay, the bullpen can close this one out.

Lets

One more out.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

[Fman99]

It's all up to Such A-Douchie.

Unbelievable. This is like the first time in three years that I turned on the TV, saw them losing, then they come back to win.

Back in first. I'll sleep better tonight.

Part of the story this season is them coming back out with efforts redoubled the day after a cockpunch loss. You ever try to fight on after fucking yourself over? Well, the Mets are your team.

Edgy. Prescient.

They did it! Orange head to toe tomorrow!

Who are you, Hillary?



Nice reversal tonight.
Starter = 6 IPs, 3 runs vs Relievers = 3 IPs, 0 runs
and
Hitters = 1 run early vs 5 runs late

It's like I don't know who they are anymore.

Ha!

PSU vs Syracuse Sept something. You and me, soupcan.

[soupcan]

This team is really fucking schizo.

Incredibly devstating losses followed by inspiring, clutch wins.

Can you say 'roller coaster season'?

If this team gets to the post-season I swear I'm gonna have a heart attack watching them.

I'm there baby.

[Centerfield]

I can't believe how pumped I am after this win. Worst loss of the season last night, best win of the season tonight. If you're going to have them in back-to-back games, better to get the win going into the off-day.

Honestly I can't remember a win feeling this good since 2006.

Have you seen the football team lately? I'll be far far away.

Happened in our last trip to Philly too.

And how about this game where we blew the lead in Philly and still won:

You know what? I like this team. Sue me.

[Guest AG/DC]

Yup. The day-to-day sense of resiliency they've fostered is what sets this team apart from the Mets of the last six weeks of last year. I like it a lot.
